Hihi all…I need help on virus definition updates on my Avast Home Edition 4.5…
I am on a broadband connection now and can’t seem to update through the automatic updates that I used to when I was on a 56k internet connection. I always get the following error message:
Connection terminated,retrying…
but nothing results from it eventually… sobz.
So i try downloading the virus updates manually via AVAST website…However…The first time i download any updates…I always get a small error window…Below is an example from my recent encounter:
Can’t install VPS update, please report following errorcodes,
Oh yes…I am the only user of my pc and I’m always logged on as the adminstrator…But as I’ve mentioned before…this problem arose after I switched to broadband connection…Thanks for helping anyway…
Oh…I do use the Win XP internet explorer internet firewall… However this problem did not exist when I put up the firewall during my dial-up connection days…
Oh n yes…I’ve stated that I am permanently connected to the Internet in the AVAST settings…
Make sure your browser is not set to “Work Offline” (this option is generally in the File menu). If it doesn’t help, try switching the proxy settings from “Auto-detect” to “No proxy” (I’m assuming you’re not connecting to the Internet via proxy).
Left click the avast icon > Settings
Update (Basic) > Details > Proxy
I don’t know if it will help, but post a HijackThis log here. With a bit of luck it may give us a clue. At least it won’t harm and we can make sure that this is not caused by any malware on your system.
